The "Scrubs" actor is denying the claims made on a defunct online site, which read, "To all my loyal fans, I have been hiding this secret inside me for too long… The human mind can only bare (sic) so much before it explodes in emotions, and well… it is time that I let the world know. I am excited and proud to announce that I am an open member of the homosexual community.”

The letter continued, “This is not news to those closest to me, and I honor that they have kept it a secret for such a long time. This doesn’t change anything. I am still Zach Braff, and I am the same man I’ve always been, gay or not ;)”

Braff's reps have stepped forward to dispel the message, telling GossipCop, “He was hacked — that site has not been used in years."
